The Ignition Series is the latest collection of new in-game items coming to Rocket League, and it's set to arrive this week! Expect to see these items in the wild beginning on March 11, the day after the March Update.

You can also expect to see these items, along with their painted variants, cycle through the Item Shop. Be sure to check it out on release day!

So keep an eye out for these items beginning March 11. For now, check them out below in all of their explosive beauty!

Rocket League is getting ready to spring forward in March with the March Update. The update will be live on all platforms on March 10 at 10 a.m. PDT (5 p.m. UTC). Here's everything you can expect on release day:

Blueprint Trade-In

Once the update is live, you'll be able to trade in Blueprints to get a Blueprint of a higher rarity, just like you can with free items. Trade five Blueprints from the same series and same rarity to get one of higher rarity in return!

Fix for Inventory Filters

Speaking of Blueprints, inventory management is also getting a fix. Any filters you set when viewing your inventory will stay active until you exit your inventory. You'll even be able to change item tabs while keeping your filters. This also means you'll be able to trade in items of a specific rarity, and those filters will remain active after the trade. We hope this makes the trading process a bit easier. 

Changes to Default Settings

We've made some slight adjustments to default settings for players picking up Rocket League for the first time. The new settings should make it easier for new players to see the field and control their car. These changes will not affect anyone's modified control scheme or camera settings, but if players are using current default settings, they will change to the new default settings after the update. Here's what's changing:

Camera 
  • Default Camera Preset
    • Distance increased from 260 to 270
    • Stiffness increased from 0.3 to 0.5
  • Camera Shake intensity reduced for most actions
  • "Legacy" Camera Preset added for players who prefer the original default settings

Controls
  • Controller Deadzone value reduced from 0.3 to 0.2
  • Dodge Deadzone value increased from 0.5 to 0.8
  • Reduced the intensity of controller vibration at the default setting
  • Boost now only vibrates the controller when Boost is activated, and not while it remains active.
    • The "Medium" and "High" Vibration settings use the old Vibration

Interface
  • Nameplates are now “Always Visible” by default.
  • Team Colored Boost Meter is now enabled by default.

Dynamic Range Controls For Game Audio

We added HDR Audio to Rocket League in August's Season 12 Update, but soon you'll have even more control over the sound of the game. The March Update will add Dynamic Range Presets. In the "Audio" tab within the options menu, you'll find a new dropdown menu that contains Dynamic Range Presets. Here's how those presets will affect the game's audio:

  • Medium (Default)

Medium will provide the most balanced audio mix for headphone users, and is a similar profile to the game's current mix.

  • Low (Night)

Low is designed for listening at very low levels. Loud sounds become quieter and quiet sounds become louder, and we also remove some sounds that are less important. We do not recommend using this setting on high-fidelity systems or when playing Rocket League at high volume. 

  • High (Theater)

This is the best mix for those who play Rocket League at high volume or with high-quality sound systems. Loud sounds will be more vibrant and explosive, and quiet sounds like crowd noise and ambience will be less overpowering, helping to add a more dynamic experience.

Final Update for Mac and Linux

The March Update will be the final update for Mac and Linux versions of Rocket League. If you have played the game on MacOS or Linux, you can request a refund through Steam. All refund requests must be received by June 10, 2020. Visit our support article for more information on functionality and refunds. 

The March Update is also bringing a new Series of items to Blueprints and the Item Shop. Stay tuned next week for the full reveal. There's more coming to Rocket League in the coming weeks, so stay tuned as we get new content locked and loaded for later this spring! Until then, good luck and have fun!

Psyonix have hit the breaks on Rocket League‘s upcoming World Championships. Scheduled to take place from April 24-26 in Dallas, Texas, growing concerns around the Covid-19 situation have convinced the developers to cancel the event, move the rest of Season 9’s championship games online and offer full refunds to anyone who’d pre-purchased a chance to see some world-class car footy.

(more…)

Rocket League® - Dirkened
At Psyonix, we take the safety of our competitive players, fans, and personnel very seriously. Due to worldwide health concerns surrounding the developing situation around the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are cancelling the Rocket League Season 9 World Championship live event as scheduled from April 24-26 in Dallas, Texas. We understand that this is frustrating, but health and safety will always be our top priority.

For fans that bought tickets to attend the event at the Curtis Culwell Center through the ETIX website, a refund will be granted automatically to your card in full, including all fees. There will also be an automatic refund for any fans who pre-purchased parking passes. If you haven’t received a refund by Wednesday, March 11, you can contact ETIX support at support@etix.com. If you bought a ticket from a third-party retailer, please contact them directly with refund requests. Regarding the previously announced attendee in-game Wheel, in April, we will email codes (one per ticket) to those that bought tickets via ETIX.

The remainder of Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Season 9 League Play will be played as scheduled to the Regional Championships and Promotion Tournament. We’re evaluating all options to replace World Championship play. Once we have more information to share, we'll update everyone. 

There will also be changes to our weekly broadcasts for RLCS and the Rival Series. As the health and wellbeing of our broadcast talent is also of utmost importance, we'll be moving the broadcast completely online for the remainder of the season beginning this week. You'll still be able to watch RLCS and Rival Series matches Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as usual, but the broadcast talent will not be in-studio. Additionally, we are actively working with our partners in Oceania and South America in order to ensure the health and safety of players and personnel there as well and we’ll share updates accordingly. 

As mentioned before, the safety and health of our professional players, personnel, and fans will continue to be our first consideration as we navigate our future plans. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we explore the best options moving forward. We are still looking forward to producing the highest level of competitive Rocket League for fans around the world, and hope you join us as we move Season 9 online.
